In celebration of the Premier League returning, we’ve put our sports writers on the spot and asked them who will be the Player of the Year.

Watch the video below to see what they predict.

The fan favourite is Eden Hazard. With all of our ‘pundits’ tipping
Chelsea to retain their Premier League crown; many believe the
Belgian attacker will be at the heart of any success. Our writers
are confident he can replicate his form from last season which saw
him win the PFA Player of the Year award.

Other picks include Manchester City’s midfield maestro, David
Silva, who got into double figures in both goals and assists last
season.

Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez has also been tipped by two of our writers
to be Player of the Year after his fantastic maiden season – could
he guide the Gunners to the league title?

Sticking with the Gunners – one of the more outlandish predictions
is Mesut Özil. The German seems very comfortable in his favoured No. 10 role
during pre-season, if he can remain fit all season, perhaps he will be
the key to any Arsenal success.

Do you think they’re wrong? Let us know in the comments. And watch
out for our full preview coming tomorrow.
